traub_psc_alpha¶
Name: traub_psc_alpha - Traub model according to Borgers 2017.
Reduced Traub-Miles Model of a Pyramidal Neuron in Rat Hippocampus[1]. parameters got from reference [2].
Post-synaptic currents
Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic change of current modelled by an alpha function.
Spike Detection
Spike detection is done by a combined threshold-and-local-maximum search: if there is a local maximum above a certain threshold of the membrane potential, it is considered a spike.
